[ Character Impressions 6 (Gen 2) - moar siblings]
- Julia sleepy, Lana sheepy 🐑 they would be the first to fall asleep at a slumber party 😴
- a bit lacklester… 😅 love the hairstyle, we’ll work on personality, and character…
- my Diarmud was… decent. He doesn’t really get to shine as a unit or as a character amidst the other mounted sword wielders.
- love Lachesis -> love Nanna 💘 the bob haircut, the feather accent… SO CUTE!!! 🥰 I wish she promoted to master knight tho (such a cool class)
- I like the way Patty talks and her energy (reminds me of Dew), but some of the things she says are like, “Whoa, gurl. Too far. Back it up or pack it up.” 🙅♀️
- ngl, I was a bit disappointed when I saw Febail for the first time, as Brigid’s son I was expecting… I dunno, blinding beauty. I guess Patty doesn’t have her elegant look either.
- I LOVE THE ISAACH TWINS!!!!! 😍
When you meet them for the first time, I thought Scáthach was the calm, reasonable, more timid (possibly nerdy) twin, and Larcei the feral twin. But then it’s revealed that Scáthach is also a spicy boi, itching to fight, but he’s holding back because of Oifey’s orders. 🥺😩💕
First impression: Ah seems like Katherine is always gonna be building in pink, thats her brand even in the new season. Wait her character has a backstory?!?!?
Impression now: BELOVED!! SHAKING HER RN! THATS MY MONSTER SLAYER!
Favorite moment: The first animated magical girl transformation WAS SICK
Idea for a story: I want a fic where her parents find her. Like The Drama!
Unpopular opinion: not actually the hugest fan of Joey/Katherine IN CANON (in fics its quite good) cause she seems pretty uncomfortable and that makes me uncomfortable. Is that a hot take?
Favorite relationship: NATURE WIVES! Also Nether Star alliance (Shelby, Sausage, fwhip and Katherine)
Favorite headcanon: I like the ones where she's slowly turning more and more monsterous/skeletal.
I'm re-reading the Discworld series for reasons, and honestly the most relatable part of reading these as an adult is how many of the protagonists start out being tired, used to their little routine and vaguely disgruntled by the interruption of the Plot. Sam Vimes wants to lie drunk in a gutter and absolutely doesn't want to be arresting dragons. Rincewind is yanked into every situation he's ever encountered, though he'd much rather be lying in a gutter too. (Minus the alcohol. Plus regretting everything he's ever done said witnessed or even heard about fourth-hand in his whole life.) Granny Weatherwax is deeply suspicious of foreign parts and that includes the next town over; Nanny has leaned into the armor of "nothing ever happens to jolly grannies who terrorize their daughters-in-law and make Saucy Jokes"
Only the young people don't seem to have picked up on this---and that's fortunate, because someone has to run around making things happen, if only so Vimes and Granny and Rincewind have a reason to get up (complaining bitterly the whole time) and put it all to rights. Without Carrot, Margrat, Eric, etc. these characters don't have that reason; they're likely to stay in the metaphorical gutter and keep wondering where it all went wrong or why anything has to change.
............well, that's not quite true. You get the sense that Vetinari knows how much certain people hate the Plot. And as the person sitting behind the metaphorical lighting board of Ankh-Morpork, he takes no small pleasure in forcing the Plot-haters specifically to stand up, and say some lines.
nah bc I feel like we give Murray way too much credit and underestimate how much Steve hates being told what to do. if Murray tried to sniff out steddie the way he did jancy, Steve's mean girl would jump out immediately.
"you are giving me relationship advice? I'll tell you what, next time I wanna know how to be a bald, alcoholic fuck who can't keep his noses out of children's love lives, I call you. Until then, maybe you should work on the crippling trust issues that stop you from having your own relationships instead of living vicariously through everyone else's."
and Eddie is in the background cheering him on the whole time
First impression: Oh hey Shelby joined the server! Oh she's in character that's so cool! I like her house!
Impression now: MY BLORBO MY BESTIE MY BELOVED I'D KILL AND DIE FOR HER.
Favorite moment: "You know what you are, you're a sad, sad spirit who keeps getting reborn over and over again cause no one loves you" paraphrasing that quote but it was BANGER! Also when she left the Undergrove that made me SO SAD ALSO WHEN SHE GAVE KATHERINE THE CROWN OUGHH NATURE WIVES
Idea for a story: I have Too Fucking Many my dude but perhaps a Regiency Nature Wives fic?
Unpopular opinion: Fuck dude idk?
Favorite relationship: NATURE WIVES! Or Holly Duo, her and Scott as besties Hurt Me
Favorite headcanon: She has stubble. like thats canon to me
I've been having a hard time with art this past month (difference in ambition vs skill etcetc) so while struggling with a project I was wishing for something simple to draw, and then (because i'm always thinking about the locked tomb i guess) I was thinking about how funny the discrepancy is between everyone's first impression of the ninth and what's actually going on inside gideon's head. also the whole thing with harrow somehow having more rizz (3 girlfriends!) than gideon. so i made this for my own amusement:
